 I have owned this car for 15 of the last 19 years.  It started out as a pristine low mileage IROC-Z 5.7L and was transformed into the beast she is today.  OK, where to start.

Exterior:
The car was completely disassembled around 10 years ago, shaved and smoothed out all emblems and logos.  Paint is a deep base coat black with about four coats of clear.  Paint shows very well but for a true show car i would say she needs a fresh coat as it is 10 years old now.  But dont get me wrong, it may not be perfect but its still a deep gloss, zero rust, awesome looking car that gets a ton of attention.  Shaved handles open with remotes and theres an emergency pop in the well just in case.  6" fiberglass cowl hood just clears all the goodies underneath.  Chrome 18" perfect rims by Stern performance are wrapped in 255/40 Toyo Proxes up front and 265/40 Mickey Thompson drag radials out back.  All lights and signals function as they should, except no fog lights for better air flow.  Limo tints all around.

Interior:
New black carpet front and back, new head liner and visors.  No rear seats, front Corbeau seats with 5 point harnesses.  6 point welded in roll cage with removeable side bars make it a ton easier to get in and out(drivers side door handle will not clear the side bar when it is installed).  Autometer gauges throughout and everything works as it should, all the way down to the speedo and fuel level.  Hurst pro shifter.  Power windows and hatch all function properly.  Factory fuel tank has welded in sump pickup and fills from inside hatch(fuel cap is hard to get open sometimes and needs a caress from a screwdriver, would suggest replacing but never got around to draining tank).  Pioneer stereo with Pheonix gold speaker front and rear and Q logic kick panels.  No A/C or heat, no surprise.

Engine and Drivetrain:
Motor is a built LS7 big block, all forged internals, studded, ported and polished Merlin heads with stud girdles, Holley carb, MSD igniton setup, Edelbrock nitrous plate sytem never used, purge in front of hood, jet hot coated hooker full length headers down to true dual exhaust out the back, Willwood brakes, pistons, and calipers all around, master cylinder works off the power steering pump pressure to make up for loss of vacuum, yes it still has power steering for ease of cruising, built TH400 reverse manual w/brake, 5000 stall convertor, line-lock, B&M deep pan, trans cooler, Moser 9" rear end, Detroit locker with 4:10 gears, 33 spline axles, racing shocks and struts, lowering springs, Spohn trans cradle with driveshaft loop, Spohn rear end drag link, willwood adjustable control arms and sway bar, Aeromotive A100 fuel pump and filters, aluminum racing radiator cars temp always around 160, digital trans temp gauge by shifter, I'm sure im missing a lot feel free to ask questions.

This car is a beast, drives straight and smooth, however due its extreme build is bein sold as-is.  This isnt your average garage build where they throw in a huge motor and run it to the track. This car has all its bases covered, wasnt hacked to pieces, gets a ton of looks, and is a blast to drive around the neighborhood and the car shows.  Shipping is solely the responsibility of the buyer, I will drive it on to a trailer and thats about it.  Let me know if you need more pics or specific pics.  Thanks for looking.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Recharge Wrap-up: Panasonic, Tesla on Gigafactory deal?

Tue, Jul 29 2014

Bentley has been awarded the Carbon Trust Standard for reductions of carbon, water use and waste production in manufacturing. The Carbon Trust is an organization that helps groups such as businesses and governments reduce carbon emissions, use of energy and resources, and waste output. From 2011 to 2013, Bentley reduced CO2 emissions by 16 percent per car manufactured, curtailed water use by 35.7 percent, and saw significant waste reductions. Darran Messem of Carbon trust says, "Bentley is clearly passionate about continuing to improve its environmental performance, which is reflected by the fact the company has consistently invested in new technology." Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet is giving 12 Volts to MBAs Across America. The organization will use the range-extended electric cars in its efforts to help MBA students learn from and work with small business owners. As part of the MBAs Across America program's first year, four students drove 8,000 miles to provide entrepreneurs with free business counseling. The program has expanded, and this year, teams of MBAs will use the Volts to travel to 25 cities to offer their services. Learn more about the partnership between Chevrolet and MBAs Across America in the press release below. A professor from the University of Michigan has found fuel cycle analysis to be too flawed to be relied upon for measuring CO2 impacts of transportation fuels. Professor John DeCicco of the university's Energy Institute feels that the flaws in calculating the carbon footprint of liquid fuel production and combustion make such lifecycle analysis impractical. He suggests, instead, to focus to carbon capture. Since capturing CO2 directly from a vehicle is probably never going to happen, DiCicco believes the solution is to capture carbon from the atmosphere in sectors outside of transportation. Says DiCicco, "Research should be ramped up on options for increasing the rate at which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and on programs to manage and utilize carbon fixed in the biosphere, which offers the best CO2 removal mechanism now at hand. Such strategies can complement measures that control the demand for liquid fuels by reducing travel activity, improving vehicle efficiency and shifting to non-carbon fuels."

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
